Approach to two of the great killers in this world, tobacco and hiv, i believe hes responsible for saving many, many, many lives. You cant ask more of a doctor than that. Dr. Koop was the first Surgeon General to officially warn about the dangers of passive smoking. He was a vigorous opponent of big tobacco, as you probably know. And theres something i always like to tell people who want to quit smoking. You dont have to wait years to see the benefits. Take a look. Just 20 minutes after your last cigarette, your heart rate and Blood Pressure will drop. In 24 hours, your Heart Disease risk goes down. Two weeks later, your lung function improves. After five years, your cancer risks declines. In fact, at 20 years, your overall risk is about the same as a nonsmoker. Any tools or tips to help you kick the habit, go to smokefree. Gov. Good luck. That will wrap things up. Time to send it back to atlanta for a check of your top stories making news right now. And you are in the cnn newsroom. Hi
